Now, today's most up-to-date railfans can witness and read all about the locomotives that, in their first year of production, were ordered by every Class I railroad in North America:The GE Evolution Series.
Six years and more than $200 million in the making, the Evolution Series represents General Electric's response to the Environmental Protection Agency's "Tier 2" emissions regulations and incorporates technologies that allow it to produce the same horsepower with four fewer cylinders than its predecessor.
Author Sean Graham-White takes readers inside GE's Erie, Pennsylvania, facilities for a privileged look at the design, manufacture, testing,and even the sale and marketing of the Evolution Series and its GEVO powerplant, leaving no major component of the locomotives unexamined.
Photographs from rail photographers around the country document the Evolution Series on the factory floor and at work across the United States and Canada, while interviews with ley GE and railroad personnel fill in the details of current operations.Also included are a selection of design drawings and a complete railroad-by-railroad listing of Evolution Series orders and production through the 2006 calendar year.
Graham-White also examines the precedents that the Evolution Series has set and where these are likely to lead the future of railroading in North America and, in fact, around the globe
